Museum Archive: Vintage Rapala Shad Rap Deep Runner 05, 3/16oz Blue fishing lure #7670

Tipping the scales at a delicate 3/16oz (5g), this balsa wood classic represents the craftsmanship of Rapala’s Irish production history. The Shad Rap Deep Runner 05, identified by product code 7670, features a vibrant blue back that transitions into silver scaled sides and a warm yellow-gold underside. Measuring 2" (5cm) in length, the lure is equipped with a prominent clear diving lip designed to reach depths of 4-9ft (1.2-2.7 m). The hardware remains in excellent shape, featuring two original dark-finished treble hooks. This specimen earns a 5/5 condition rating, with the foil-like finish and clear vane remaining remarkably crisp. Intended for both casting and trolling techniques, this balsa-bodied lure is a staple for targeting predators like perch, trout, or zander. The lightweight balsa construction provides the necessary buoyancy for technical presentations.
